Today is World Nutella Day. We love Nutella. If I'm at a crêperie I will always order a crêpe with bananas and nutella. At home we love nutella on toasts, croissants and on banana bread.

Since I wanted to keep things on the light side, I decided to try the banana bread that seems to be the post popular on the Cooking Light Bulletin Board. I read all of the great reviews and finally started baking. This bread has only one quarter cup of butter so I was curious to see the results. It did not take long after it was out of the oven that I wanted to try a piece of that bread. The outside of the bread is more chewy than your traditional banana bread. The texture is also chewy but I have to admit that the taste is really good. First I tried it by itself, liked it, and when I spreaded the Nutella it was even better. I could not stop at one slice.

The boys will be happy, they love to snack on banana bread and also, for them, it's a quick grab & go breakfast in the morning.

I'm glad I finally baked this recipe. I will bake this banana bread again if I want to spread Nutella on top, that way I'll save some calories. If I want a plain, old-fashioned banana bread I will make Mrs. Hockmeyer Banana Bread .

I love nutella on banana bread. But reading this post you gave me such a great idea: putting it on a croissant. OMG, I never thought of that! I addore croissants so much. It is so hard to find a good one unless you fly to paris.

The French love their Nutella. When we were in Provence, almost an entire aisle in their Supermarche was devoted to different sizes of Nutella. Giada on the Food Network also loves Nutella. Too bad Elvis never heard of it or it would have been on his peanut and bacon sandwich. Your banana bread sounds wonderful and your packaging is fabulous.Sam
